On December 11, 2024, Survoltés hosted a thrilling Twitch event that captured the attention of electric car enthusiasts everywhere. The highlight of the show was an extensive Tier List, where approximately thirty electric vehicles tested throughout the year were ranked by our dedicated editorial team.
The dynamic setting featured four prominent journalists—Ulrich Rozier, Raphaëlle Baut from Numerama, Jean-Baptiste Passieux, and Vincent Sergère—guided by host Grégoire Huvelin, who acted as the event’s “judge.” Fans tuning in on Twitch also had the opportunity to participate by voting for their favorite electric cars.

It’s important to note that in curating our list of thirty electric cars, some models were excluded to keep the show within a reasonable timeframe. We encourage you to check out our buying guides for a comprehensive look at the top electric vehicles tested by Survoltés this year.
This ranking does come with a slight bias, as not all vehicles of the year were included due to logistical constraints, and subjective opinions were welcomed during the discussions. For an unbiased perspective on each car, we invite you to explore the detailed tests linked below.

As the show wrapped up, our journalists cast their votes for the standout electric car of 2024.
The Top Picks for Electric Cars of 2024
According to Ulrich Rozier, the Renault Scénic E-Tech emerges as a fierce challenger to the Tesla Model Y, the reigning SUV champion. It excels in key areas expected from a family vehicle—comfort, spaciousness, and quality—while also outperforming in electric-specific metrics such as range and efficiency, all at an appealing price point.
Raphaëlle Baut’s choice, the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, stems from a place of passion rather than rationality. This vehicle left a significant impression during the year’s tests, offering exhilarating driving experiences both on the road and track. The innovative features, including a simulated gearbox, enhance the driving sensations, making it a favorite even among traditionalists.
For Jean-Baptiste Passieux, the Kia EV3 may lack excitement but presents a compelling option. With its attractive design, spacious interior, top-tier range, and favorable price-to-equipment ratio, it stands out as a practical choice that meets specific consumer needs.
Lastly, Vincent Sergère champions the electric R5 as his top pick of the year, predicting it will secure the “car of the year” accolade. Renault’s 5 E-Tech impresses with its functional interior, modern technology, and advanced infotainment powered by Google, all while providing a fun and engaging driving experience. Its retro-inspired design resonates with many, making it a rational and enjoyable vehicle at a competitive price.
